U-Haul Offers 30 Days Free Storage to Carolina Tornado Victims

U-Haul® is offering 30 days of free self-storage to residents impacted by flooding and tornadoes that slammed parts of the Carolinas this week.

Thousands of people remain without power after a tornado downed trees and power lines in the region.

“There will be a lot of clean-up and recovery, and people may need a secure place to store their belongings in the coming days,” said Doug Weston, U-Haul Company of Western North Carolina president. “U-Haul is here to help by making these facilities available to our neighbors at no cost for a month.”
